Just to be clear the only difference is 100% meth opposed to 50/50? Was there a significant ambient temp differential?

One thing that could explain this difference is your previous AFR. Paul (Yimi Sport) informed me that he liked to run 50/50 leaner at redline than 100%. We would have to ask him to chime in but my AFR's at Redline are north of 11.5 at redline with 50/50.

the "old tune" log was done 2 days ago at the same time at night. the new one tonight. I just re-hooked up my hybrid boost control tonight, so that was a difference too.....old tune log was with a Hallman MBC only.

Something has to be screwy. The engine loads on the old log dont match up with the boost levels. Same boost, lower timing, same temperature, same road, yet the Loads are completely different.

And my boost control got worse with the hybrid setup this time than with just the mbc. Im just dumbfounded and pissed off tonight.

Im gonna throw the rest of the meth in my gas tank tomorrow and do some more logs

Hopefully i'll be going to Famoso Raceway for test and tune saturday morning.....so i wanted to get some logs in and work out any bugs.

Someone broke in to your car and swapped on a set of ported heads and some cams while you were asleep last night Ron... duh!

Seriously, pretty tough to explain what you logged. It would also be quite strange to be able to get past MTBT on just pump and meth. Ambient temp probably explains part of it but not all of it. Perhaps as crand002 mentioned, when you were running 50/50 meth/water you might have actually been pumping in too much. If there was too much water, that was displacing air-fuel as well as lowering cylinder temps too much. Now that you are basically on straight meth, all your injection volume is combustible. Add in some colder denser air and you have a recipe for more power.

I usually run 50/50 meth/water cars around 11.8-12:1 AFR. The 100% meth cars I like around 11.5:1. Water has such a high latent heat of evaporation that you have to run it a bit leaner to avoid pulling too much heat out of the combustion chambers with the injection.

Well, 7* is a big change, and if you were far past MBT, you'd be throwing off the VE, and thus airflow and load. Still, I'd bet there was something else going on, the meth, IAT's, not sure. Did you check all compensations?

Were those plots done with the same smoothing factor? I've found that just 1 point can make the same plot look like either of those two graphs.

Oh and BTW, I believe the baseline numbers in Airboy are from an 06-07 WRX, not an STI.

somethings wacky.....now i dont trust anything i did today.

I guess i'll just go out tomorrow and do back to back pulls and jack the timing back up on the 2nd one.

My meth still isnt 100% meth now. I have the 12L tank and it was about 1/4 full still with a mixture of VP meth, meth i got from a friend, denatured alcohol, and water. The 3/4 i just added was 100% meth.

Maybe i just found a good mix

I only had 3 beers tonight....maybe that was my problem.

Paul, are customers allowed to rent the dyno at yimi? If so how much is it an hour?

That's the problem right there Ron... don't you usually have at least a 6 pack in you when you are out tuning and logging?

The dyno is available for hourly rentals. PM me or give me a call for rates. I'll even drive the car for you and give you really bad advice

I just looked at your timing graph a bit more closely. There is no way you were past MTBT on your old tune. Aside from the wacky peak at 4750 then dip after that timing is roughly right. The "new" tune is way low on midrange timing for a meth tune running the boost and fueling target that you have. The timing values on the logs from tonight look more like straight pump gas numbers.

^^ that peak and dip is why all this started.

That is 1.4 FLKC in there. I havent tuned in so long i forgot that the FLKC doesnt zero out when you flash, it only does it when you reset the ecu.

So i kept lowering the timing.....still knocking.....lowered again.....still knocking....i finally looked at the 4 logs and noticed it was FLKC and that it was the exact same on all 4 runs. So i reset the ecu and did the last pull.

And I was thinking exactly that while i was lowering the timing. I was wondering if my meth was spraying.....but i can smell it in the cab.

Well, at least this makes me hopefull that i should pick up some more power adding that 4-7* back in the midrange.

What is the difference between intake temps between the two days tuning sessions?

sorry.... the higher midrange tq/hp on all 3 is the higher timing.

only difference between the two runs is the timing.

I rather make 20 less ftlbs and 20 less whp and know that it will always be consistent vs good for 1 or 2 pulls and then pulling timing.

no. only one guy has even asked me about it.

i told him that i didnt even know if i'd take $28k (blue book +$3k) and i never heard back from him.

i have over $3k in stereo equipment alone. too much money to just give away. i'd venture about $20k total into the car.

im gonna search the classifieds for a Red, dom4 or atp35 for a couple months. then i'll be done. or start doin some suspension here and there
